Dr. Vincent Huang is currently a research assistant professor of communication and the Director of the MA in Communication programme at Hong Kong Baptist University. He is also an early career and graduate student representative of the Organizational Communication Division of the International Communication Association.
His research lies at the intersection of information and communication technology (ICT) and organizing. He is particularly interested in studying how social technology platforms structure, alter, and extend organizational communication processes. He is also interested in studying the user experience of ICTs in organizational and social contexts. In exploring these topics, he also examines the broader impact of ICT-driven organizing on emerging labor processes, public relations, and social culture.
He is currently open to MPhil student supervision and PhD student co-supervision.
